Check the video response, maybe it helps?

(replace the "watch?v=[whatever]" in your browser's address bar with the one provided above)

So all a person really needs is a WiiMote, sensor bar, and a bluetooth usb dongle? Doesn't the sensor bar need to be plugged into something?

[Nolonar]

@Flowen The Wiimote is not necessary, as you can simulate it through the keyboard, it's just easier to use.

Some games work without Wiimote (those are games compatible with the GameCube controller, NOT the Classic Controller!)

The dongle is needed if your PC doesn't already have Bluetooth (most Notebooks don't need the dongle).

As for the sensor bar, in reality it's just 2 infrared lights. You could use 2 lamps or candles to simulate the bar. The bar is used for "pointing on the screen".

I added a video response with an alternate way of connecting the Wiimote.

If it doesn't work, then I don't know what will, sorry...

It doesn't work for me too. I did everithing you did in the video, everything worked, but the games don't react on Wiimote button presses. So it is connected with Dolphin, yet it can't control anything. And I know it's not the Wiimote, because its commands are recognized by GlovePIE. Help?

PS: It worked once before.

@anyone584 Make sure the "Input Source" is set to "Real Wiimote" or "Hybrid Wiimote" (it's in the "Dolphin Wiimote Configuration")

If it still doesn't work, try pressing Alt + F5 while the game is running (it's the shortcut to "Connect Wiimote 1") and is used to connect multiple players, like Alt + F6 for Wiimote 2, up to Alt + F8 for Wiimote 4.

Btw: sorry about the late reply, I've been really busy with university, and it's getting worse, so please don't count on fast or frequent replies...

@Nolonar It's okay. I read it. ^^

It really was Windows Bluetooth. Downloading Bluesoleil fixed the problem... Until the trial ended. ¬¬ But don't worry. Making a way to get money and buy it. :D
